There are a handful of the Alomar cards known but that is the only Baker I have ever seen. The card to the right of Baker, Cookie Rojas, is almost certainly also affected but I haven't found one yet.

A fairly unique Maury Wills . This was listed in the 2011 Standard Catalog as a Topps prototype with 4 other "pairs" of players also listed. Reggie Jackson and Jr Richard were listed together. Also, a few, last 8 of these 81 Topps/Coke cards may be unique

Have a small batch of these, probably proofs of some kind, since the original batch had numbers over 150. Lots of reversed negatives and coarser printing too.
Got them in around 1980 and haven't seen any others.

Gonna have to show me the cropping difference

[quitcrab]

Look thru the “O “ in the name Bob… I see a difference. Howard’s example is a 68 because I saw the whole sheet it was cut from ( with different players then 67)

Also the second 'E' in Clemente.

I know his is cut off the sheet
Cropping is meaningless
68 only difference mantle Brooks cepeda aaron
All others that appear in both sets are the same
If you sent both clementes in raw at the same time
Psa would label them both the same
